A named town · dominant
Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 15:41 the form stands within a sequence of cities, and the APB renders the list “Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah.” In 2 Chronicles 28:18 it is included among towns the Philistines captured; the APB renders “Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its daughters.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Gederoth” in both verses, once in a city list and once in a report of captured towns. This identifies its presentation within each verse rather than a separate lexical rendering.
